Front Washer fluid not spraying in 1999 Dodge Caravan Sport

1999 Dodge Caravan.   Front washer fluid sprayin on to the front windshield but have noticed that ther is washer fluid under the Van.  The back window fluid does spary correctly.

Resevoir does go down after attempting to spray so motor does work.  Is there hoses that connect to the sprayers and where are they located.

Thanks.

In my 2007 Saturn Vue there is what I think is an air pump which is cracked that one port is not connected to anything.

There is a electric motor that pumps washer fluid . Located in the bottom of the washer fluid tank .
Wash Operation (Front and Rear Wipers)
The front and rear washer systems use the same windshield washer fluid pump. When either the front or rear wiper is in the washer position voltage will be supplied to one side of the windshield washer fluid pump (depending on whether it is front or rear), while the other side of the pump is grounded.
At this point, the windshield washer fluid pump sprays solvent onto the windshield. When the front or rear washer is activated, the BCM receives an input from the switch that is activated. The BCM will control the wipers while in the WASH mode. The BCM will control either the front wiper relay or the rear wiper relay to turn on the wipers. The windshield wipers operate at low speed for 3 swipes and returns to the park position.

When turning on the washers do you hear the motor run ? Have some one try it while you listen at the washer fluid tank ! These pump motors do go bad .
turn OFF the ignition.
Disconnect the harness electrical connector of the windshield washer fluid pump.
Connect a test lamp from the windshield washer pump control circuit to a good ground .
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Press the front washer switch.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
YES or NO !

camillachimi... yes, take off the front passenger wheel and you then can get to the inspection plate that covers the washer pumps. i am having the exact same problem as you on my 2001 caravan sport... rear washer works but the front washer pump doesn't appear to be getting any power... fuses looked good... even replaced the pump... still not working. have you found out anything more?

Windshield washer fluid not coming up at front, just at the rear

Check the hoses running to the front windshield washer nozzles. If the hoses are good check the pump to see if it is working correctly. Remove one of the hoses from the spray nozzle and see if the pump is working. If it is then the spay nozzles are stopped up. Use a needle to clean them out. They can easily get plugged with wax. If the pump is not working then either the fuse is blown or the pump is defective.
